Chapter 289: Military Parade

Faint clouds slowly drifted in the clear sky, and on the endless land, a small but amazing military parade was unfolding, which was a military parade held by Cassano after the autumn harvest after the alliance with the imperial capital.

"Whew!Whew!Whew!"

Five thousand heavily armed warriors marched through the clearing below the hill of Ironfist Castle in five neat phalanxes, all dressed in full-body armor, their swords clenched in their hands, and a shield behind their backs, all of their equipment glittering with silver, apparently forged from Mithril alloy.

At the forefront of these warriors was Adra, dressed in military uniform on a tall horse, a female warrior of the Seremis family, wearing the Rose Mithril full-body armor made for her by Ryan himself, holding a spear in one hand and a Mithril helmet in the other, her blond hair fluttering in the wind, revealing the charm of a strong woman.

When Arad rode past Ryan's viewing platform, she solemnly put on her helmet and raised her Mithril spear in the air to salute Lane, the overlord of Cassano, who was sitting on the viewing platform, and the dignitaries who had been invited to watch the Cassano military parade.

"Huh!"

Adra's movements seemed to be a signal, and the heavily armed warriors who were walking dozens of meters behind her immediately raised their long swords in their hands.

"Huh!"

After taking a few steps, the warriors once again removed the Mithril round shield from their backs in a neat and uniform motion, and then placed the round shield on their chests in a posture ready for battle.

"Bang, bang!

As the warriors passed by the viewing platform, they struck the edge of the Mithril shield in their left hand with the hilt of their right sword, causing it to make a crisp and rhythmic sound, and then the warriors shouted in unison, "Kill!"

The loud shouts of slaughter reached into the sky and resounded throughout the earth, and the residents of Cassano who watched the ceremony could not help but applaud in unison, believing that when another enemy invaded them, this force would protect them and destroy those who dared to come.

After all the Iron Fist Castle Guards led by Adela passed through the viewing platform, they lined up in a pre-designated position and stood in unison, they were completely arranged in the formation before the battle, and everyone who saw this scene believed that as long as the young man sitting in the center of the viewing platform made an attack gesture, this powerful infantry legion would not hesitate to attack and tear apart all the enemies in front of him.

Another unit slowly walked in, but unlike the previous Guards Legion, this team of 5,000 people was also on horseback, I don't know if it was their knights, these archers with longbows on their backs were not in a neat formation at all when walking, and their formation was even loose, so that the residents of Cassano talked about it behind their backs, and thought that they were just temporarily pulled to make up the numbers.

Only people who really understand military affairs, such as Orlando and others sitting on the viewing platform, know deeply the horror of this unit, if the Iron Fist Castle Guards in front is the strongest shield, they must be neat and fully armed, then the army that is coming now is Cassano's sharpest spear, yes, they are the Elven Clan Moon Temple Guard Seres personally trained Cassano Flying Marksman Legion.

The infantry army relies on its comrades when fighting, whether it is against the impact of cavalry or the shooting of archers, they will be more effective in protecting themselves in a dense formation, and as a marksman army, this army does not need to line up in a neat pace, all they have to do is attack, attack, and attack again, destroying everything that can be seen in front of them with overwhelming covering shots.

Therefore, the formation of these shooters is quite loose, but they have no blind spots when they are marching, no matter which direction the enemy appears, this army can assemble, turn, and launch fire at the fastest speed, and they are all riding war horses, which also means that this shooter unit has more excellent mobility, of course, it can make Orlando's heart also emerge "terrible" In two words, the outfit of this army is also well-thought, not to mention that all they are equipped with Mithril longbows, the quiver behind these archers alone is enough to move the head of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, Hamfest - a small storage pocket that can hold thousands of feathered arrows.

Even in the battle of Thor's Fortress, no one of the Empire's most elite archers could shoot so many arrows from the beginning of the battle to the end, and it was obvious that Ryan would not meaninglessly bring his archers with unused arrows, maybe they could use up those killing arrows in a battle before their physical strength was completely exhausted.

Leading this popular archer troop is the patriarch of the Emilio family, Lady Vivien, her scorpion-lion beast's leather armor was destroyed by Catherine, but later after Ryan killed the hydra, he simply used the skin of the hydra to make another set for her, but Ryan's enchantment level has been greatly improved at this time, so this set of armor is not fancy in appearance, and even looks no different from ordinary armor.

Therefore, in terms of momentum, Vivien was indeed a little worse than Adela who had walked before, but the longbow on her shoulder made Hamfest, Orlando and others stand up in surprise, they couldn't believe that their eyes saw a demigod made of intact hydra bones.

That's right, Vivien's shoulders now straddle a longbow made from the spine of the Hydra, and this powerful weapon was made thanks to the original Templar Emma. As the clerk of the Temple of the Apocalypse, she had read almost all the magic books there, and she knew a little about all kinds of strange magic items, and when she saw the bones of the hydra stacked in the mountain behind the Iron Fist Castle, she immediately remembered a secret method she had seen.

The Hydra has nine heads, but its spine has only one, obviously this spine is quite strong, this is simply the best material for making a bowed back, the only problem is that the body of the Hydra is so huge, if it is completely made of its spine to make a weapon, obviously only the legendary Titan can afford it.

Fortunately, Emma still remembered the secret method that had been recorded in a certain book in the Temple of the Apocalypse, and later she took Ryan and the others back to look through it carefully several times, and finally found the book that recorded the secret method. According to the records of the secret method, Ryan concocted a special ink, and immersed the huge Hydra skeleton in it for three whole months, and under the effect of the ink, the spine of the Hydra shrank smaller and smaller day by day, and finally became the size it is now.

Ryan used the same method to make a bowstring from the tendons on the thigh of the hydra, and finally completed the Hydra bone bow, during the first test shot, the cheering Vivien made a fool of herself on the spot, because with her strength she couldn't pull the bone bow at all, and the elf archer Seres saw that the hunt was happy, and took it over and prepared to shoot an arrow, but even if Serres's strength, after Ryan blessed him with the "War Horn" magic, he could only pull it apart by 3%.

The first arrow shot by Seres with this Hydra bone bow directly pierced through the three sets of Mithril full-body armor worn by the soldiers of the Iron Fist Castle Guard, causing Serres to grow up and unable to close their mouths again. Originally, a warrior shrouded in Mithril armor would hardly be afraid of swords and crossbows on the battlefield, and there were better ways to deal with them, such as chiseling with a war hammer, but this creation of Ryan changed all that.

Seres gently stroked the Hydra Bone Bow and sighed, "The Song of Soul Suppression is faster, it can shoot three arrows or more at the time when others shoot one arrow, and this Hydra Bone Bow only needs one arrow to penetrate the enemy's defense." On the battlefield, the archer with this bow will be more feared by the enemy than the Holy Knight, because no one knows when the deadly arrow will pierce his throat. Promise me, Ryan, don't let it become a weapon of cannibalism for you humans. ”

Ryan naturally agreed solemnly, and then he conducted several tests in a row, and found that this hydra bone bow could even penetrate defensive magic such as stone skin spells released by himself, and even if it was a large earth element summoned by Ryan from the earth elemental plane, this combat creature known for its hardness still couldn't block the shot of the hydra bone bow, and Master Victor, who had witnessed all this, scratched his head and classified Ryan's work into the category of a demigod.

Today, the Hydra Bone Bow on Vivien's shoulder is officially displayed in front of everyone for the first time, although its current temporary owner Vivien can't pull it away at all, but it is enough to shock Hamfest, Orlando and others, Ryan can actually make a demigod weapon, could he also step into that legendary step?

Cassano's three armies were more impressive than the other, Adra's Ironfist Castle Guards were the elite of the infantry troops, even against the most elite Jonas Legion in the Empire, I am afraid that the latter could only surround them with ten times the strength and slowly carry out a war of attrition, while Vivian's second army of Windswept Marksmen was a formidable spear, as long as they intended, they could appear anywhere on the battlefield at any time, launch a deadly attack on the enemy's weak part, and then fly away with superior mobility。

By the time Barbara led Cassano's third legion, the whole parade reached its climax. The previous two forces were each 5,000 people, like Orlando and Hamfest, they could also use superior forces, or use the Royal Knights to fight hard, and they might not be able to fall into disadvantage, but when this third army appeared in front of everyone, Orlando couldn't help but sigh.
